So therefore, I am only allowed to post the link, but it's good news to me and folks that agree with me, hopefully it goes down.

It's not unreasonable to believe the enemy could one night show up in American uniforms, conduct cold blooded killings and then bug out giving the impressions of a massacre. Quite frankly I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often. Then you get the press to pick up on the story and you give the reporter what he or she wants to see and bam, another information battlefield victory.
Then again I don't know if that was the case here.
There's just not a whole lot of information for any of us to go by but that's the story I want to believe. If it is true, I'd say hang this f*cker out to dry like a squid on a clothes line on a clear day in Barstow.

Frankly I don't see how anyone could just denounce Murtha right off the bat. He is a man who served 38 years total in the USMC and USMCR got up to the rank of O-6, fought in both Korea and Vietnam and won the Bronze Star (with valor device).

Frankly I respect him and all he has done for our country - he tells the truth a lot of times even though it isn't what people wanna hear.

Murtha was not in combat in Korea. He served Stateside. He served as a staff officer at the Divisional Level in Vietnam. As far as his decorations well I dunno so I 'll leave it at that.

It appears some of his awards have been called into question more than once by folks who have BTDT.

Let's not forget his anti-war comments and rebuttal. I know it is a biased opinion but it still makes a few valid points:

Murtha deserves whatever he gets.
